Add hte Bluetooth HID for keyboards to this awesome mobile computing platform
Our company has a lot of requests from customers that they want to connect our Bluetooth HID/SPP barcode scanners to the iPhone as input device. Unfortunately we can't help them or sell them our products for that purpose, because the iPhone supports neither HID nor SPP.
The iPhone should be my little mobile office. I should be able to send/reply to emails as fast as I can receive them.
Sorry, won't buy the iPhone until I can use my (Apple) wireless keyboard with it. Nor is it going to compel me to buy a MacBook instead.
Support the entire bluetooth profile:
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)
Basic Imaging Profile (BIP)
Basic Printing Profile (BPP)
Cordless Telephony Profile (CTP)
Device ID Profile (DID)

Apple wireless keyboard works with every bluetooth eneble cellphone but iphone.
Yes please !! Then I really could leave my laptop behind on some trips
I have to say that i regret i've chose to buy this phone. I had 3 choices HTC, TREO750 and Iphone. I did wrong, I've chose the last one. What can I say, it is a good looking gadget, but that's it just a good looking phone. I am gonna put it on sale and i will advise my friends not to do the same mistake that i did. iPhone SUCKS!
Just a wonderful extra that would make the iPhone much more appealing since no matter how clever it's keyboard is a larger physical keyboard is still more comfortable, and we would use the iphone more even in the office or home.
External keyboards have long been used with other smartphones.
Yes, the on screen keyboard is great - but sometimes, like in meetings, id like to type at a significantly faster rate
Why can't I use my Apple Keyboard with my iPhone? That's just stupid!
That would be nice when at home or in the office and you don't want to type on the small screen.
